This is a typical wheel, which is showing several problems.
The rim is damaged by kerbing, the finish is oxidising and lifting the lacquer, there are stone chips and marks from balance weights.
This wheel is in need of a complete refurb.
The first stage of the process is to remove the existing finish lacquer paint etc to get back to a bare casting.
Next we machine out any damage to the rim caused by kerbing etc.
Lastly, we check for dents or flat spots and deoxidise and clean the wheel ready for painting.
The wheel is painted using the latest dry powder coat finishing system with the application of a tough durable polyester coating for a lasting finish.
Most colours are available.
This finish is then baked on a high temperature in gas fired ovens.
The next step is to machine the wheel to restore its original look using hand made templates to exactly follow the contour of the original shape.
Finally the wheel is lacquered using a clear powder coating.
